This is a piece of Myrtle Burl (large) that a friend gave me today. He tried to cut it into smaller pieces but didn't work well. He hit a rock and killed the chainsaw blade. Then killed the bandsaw blade. Then loaded it in my truck and said GOOD LUCK!:eek:

Sweet! Looks like it's worth trashing a blade or two!
